It was obvious that the grand events surrounding the Sports Festival were steadily approaching. The closer the appointed time for the big competitions arrived, the most excited and nervous most students ended up becoming. Elise understood that excitement if she had to admit... she herself was also quite excited about the competitions. However, at the same time, she also started to notice the clear signs of stress building up within Tetsuko. It was evident that her iron-blooded knight was dealing with the pressure of the responsibilities she was forced to carry upon her shoulders, and despite her best efforts, Elise found herself somewhat powerless to vanquish those demons that represented Tetsuko Shindou's anxiousness. If she was entirely honest, it actually hurt her a little to see how much time and dedication Tetsuko was putting into her training. A part of her admired it, but another part felt somewhat lonely at the same time. Perhaps it was for that reason the burgundy-haired lass had decided to distract herself in a way that was most simple, but also quite effective in helping her prepare for the upcoming competitions. Indeed, she had decided to start training for the upcoming Obstacle Course competition. The course she had chosen in particular was one which would test her acrobatic skills alongside her speed and stamina, the first obstacle coming in the form of a net that was spread over the floor. It seemed the main method of crossing the net, considering it seemed to be quite sticky to the touch was to use the holes in the net to use as footing, simply said stepping across the net. It was slow and tedious, but like one might imagine it was an obstacle that someone with a quirk like her could easily handle.
In the end, the moment she underwent her metamorphosis into a slime girl Elise swiftly bounced into the air her two tentacle-like appendages sharpening their tips as she lunged them toward a hole a few meters away, easily pulling her body into the hole while bouncing herself upwards again and repeating the same motion, albeit this time several meters further. As a result she had crossed the obstacle course in a mere couple of seconds, compared to the few minutes that someone might had needed to traverse it the normal way. Of course, she knew someone with the ability of flight like Darren would be able to go even faster by just leaping over the entire obstacle.
As she bounced back at the end of the first obstacle course, the burgundy-haired lass was just about to approach the second obstacle when she spotted a figure near the outskirts of the obstacle course, and considering how early it was Elise had to admit her curiosity was somewhat stirred. "Good morning~" The burgundy-haired lass began in her best attempts of English, something she was fairly proud about. Not only did interacting with Tetsuko allow her a solid grasp over Japanese over all those years, but she also spoke a nice bit of German and English! And considering their unfamiliar looks she doubted they were an U.A student. "I'm sorry, were you planning to use the Obstacle Course for training? I heard the big events were starting today, so I guess it's to be expected that more people would want to get some exercising done~"
